At Mike’s Dive Store, we’re always on the lookout for the latest and greatest in dive technology, and we’re excited to announce that we’ve just added the Mares Quad Ci to our range. This new model is the successor to the popular Mares Quad Dive Computer, and it’s packed with exciting features that make it an even better choice for divers of all levels. Whether you’re just getting started or you’re a seasoned pro, the Mares Quad Ci offers everything you need for a safe, efficient, and enjoyable dive.
A Sleek Design with a Vibrant Display
One of the first things you’ll notice about the Mares Quad Ci is its stunning 8-colour high-resolution MIP display. Compared to the standard black-and-white display on the older Mares Quad, this colour display is a game-changer. It’s bright, clear, and easy to read, even in the brightest conditions. The contrast and colour options allow you to customise the display to your preferences, from a classic readout to a more streamlined, jumbo-sized view. The screen really shines in good lighting conditions, making it easier to track your data without squinting or straining your eyes.
But the Quad Ci isn’t just about looks. It’s designed for function as well. With a simple 4-button control system, it’s intuitive to use, even when you’re underwater. And if you’re diving at night or in low light, the built-in backlighting ensures you can still see your data clearly.
Packed with Features for All Types of Diving
The Mares Quad Ci is designed to be versatile, with a range of features that make it suitable for recreational divers, technical divers, and everyone in between. It uses the Bühlmann ZH-L16c algorithm, which is well-known in the diving community for its reliability and precision. The best part? You can adjust the gradient factors to suit your personal preferences, allowing for a more customised and comfortable dive experience. If you’re new to adjusting these settings, don’t worry—there’s plenty of information available, and our staff here at Mike’s Dive Store is always happy to help. You can also check out our Beginners’ Guide to Dive Computers for more guidance on how to pick the best model for your needs.
Another great feature is the air integration. The Mares Quad Ci can communicate with up to five tank transmitters (with Mares Led Tank Modules 2.0), which makes it perfect for multi-tank diving. This means you’ll always have a clear reading of how much air is left in your tanks, keeping you informed and safe throughout your dive. Whether you’re using a single tank or multiple, the Quad Ci keeps track so you don’t have to. This is where the Mares LED 2.0 Tank Module Transmitter comes in—allowing you to wirelessly pair with your dive computer and keep an eye on your air supply with ease. No more fiddling with separate pressure gauges, just seamless integration that gives you real-time air monitoring right on your dive watch.
For those who want a little extra direction under the surface, the Mares Quad Ci also includes a digital compass, helping you maintain a sense of orientation as you explore underwater. And for the technical divers, the bottom timer function is a real bonus, allowing you to track your bottom time during more advanced dives.
The Ideal Dive Computer for Technical Divers
The Mares Quad Ci isn’t just a dive computer for casual divers—it’s also a solid choice for technical divers. With different dive modes, including air, nitrox, and trimix, it offers flexibility for a wide range of diving activities. You can also adjust certain settings during the dive, which is a handy feature for those diving at deeper depths or in more complex environments. And if you prefer to use bungees instead of the standard wrist strap, don’t worry—that’s an option too, as the Mares Quad Ci comes with bungee adapters right out of the box.
Whether you’re diving recreationally or pushing the limits of technical diving, the Mares Quad Ci has the tools you need to dive with confidence. With multiple dive modes including air, nitrox, and trimix, it’s adaptable for a wide range of diving activities. If you’re new to these modes, our Top 3 Dive Computers for Beginner Scuba Divers might be just what you need to get the most out of your dive computer.
Seamless Connectivity with the Mares App
We all love technology that makes life easier, and the Mares Quad Ci offers seamless connectivity with the Mares app. Through Bluetooth, you can wirelessly download your dive data to your smartphone, giving you the ability to review your dive profiles and track your progress over time. Plus, software updates can be easily installed through the app, ensuring that your dive computer stays up to date with the latest features and improvements.
One thing to note, though: while you can download dive logs and update the software through the app, you’ll need to make any settings changes directly on the computer itself. But given how intuitive and easy-to-navigate the Quad Ci is, that’s not a big issue.
With a full charge, the Mares Quad Ci will give you up to 20 hours of dive time, and once you’re done, you can easily recharge it using the included charging cable, so it’s ready for your next adventure.
Why We Love the Mares Quad Ci
At Mike’s Dive Store, we’ve seen our fair share of dive computers, but the Mares Quad Ci stands out. What we love about it is how it strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and sophistication. The design is sleek and intuitive, yet the functionality is incredibly robust. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned diver, this dive computer offers the features you need without overwhelming you with unnecessary complexity.
The real standout improvement over the previous Mares Quad is the colour display—it's not just a cosmetic change. The clarity and customisation options make it much easier to monitor your dive data at a glance. Plus, the air integration and ability to pair with multiple transmitters (including the Mares LED 2.0 Tank Module Transmitter) make it a great choice for more advanced divers, particularly those using multiple tanks or diving in challenging conditions.
If you’ve been considering an upgrade or are looking for a dive computer that can grow with you as you progress in your diving career, the Mares Quad Ci is a fantastic option. It’s versatile, reliable, and packed with features that make every dive a little bit easier.
